    While the standard formlib datetime widget makes use of
    zope.datetime and creates also not too reliable (or ambigous)
    datetimes based on local servertime, this widget provides
    non-ambigous UTC datetimes with a pytz timezone (pytz.utc).

    Using this widget for datetime data we always get clean UTC
    datetimes compatible with other Python packages (as pytz is more
    wide-spread than zope.datetime).

    For datetimes in other timezones we compute the correct UTC value
    and store this. A way to help making sure, only UTC-based values
    go into the DB.

    For datetimes without any timezone set, we interpret the input to
    be meant as local app-time. I.e. if application TZ is
    ``Africa/Lagos``, we assume that a string like '2012-02-01 12:13'
    (apparently not providing TZ info) was meant as 12:13 h Lagos
    time.

    From zope.datetime, however, we save the parser abilities to
    interpret even bizarre entered data as some datetime.
